I will be interviewing Eric Braeden (Victor Newman, "Y&R") next week for publication in early March. In the comments section of this post, please submit your questions that you would like for me to ask Eric. Now's your chance to get to the nittygritty and really see what makes Victor, and his portrayer, tick.

Also, the contributor of the best question will receive a prize. Not sure what yet, but it'll be groovy -- I promise!

Well, the cat is out of the bag. The "innovative storytelling technique" that "GH" will be employing for February Sweeps is real-time format. "GH" will tell its story in 16 one-hour-long episodes -- one for every weekday in Sweeps plus the episode that kicked off the story on January 26th.

"This story is an exciting, emotional roller-coaster told like never before in daytime history," said Brian Frons, president, Daytime, Disney-ABC Television Group.

"This is a very exciting time for General Hospital, as we are continually looking for ways to raise the bar in how we produce a daily drama," added executive producer Jill Farren Phelps. "This is an interesting and captivating way to tell a story that will expertly intertwine all of the show's characters together."

So don't miss a moment of it. Or should I say, a real-time hour of it!

You "kinda" heard it here first. While, I am not at liberty to tell all the details, YET, I can tell you that I'm going to end all speculation that Eileen Davidson (ex-Ashley, "Y&R") might be coming back to "Days" as Kristen Blake.

She won't. At least not in the foreseeable future.

But she has just signed a contract to join another daytime drama. Soon. Only I can't tell you which one. Yet. I'm interviewing her later this week to get the scoop for my Daytime Dial interview column. And when I'm allowed to spill the beans, you'll be the first to hear.

Now for some prime-time soapy goodness. Best-selling novelist Nora Roberts has four movies adapted from her books that will appear on the Lifetime television network this month, and it features some of your favorite stars:

Heather Locklear ("Melrose Place") and Jonathan Schaech ("That Thing You Do!") star in "Nora Roberts' Angels Fall," about a woman who survived a mass murder at a restaurant and is trying to rebuild her life only to find herself involved in another mystery. The movie premieres Jan. 29th at 9 p.m.

John Corbett ("Sex and the City"), Ashley Williams ("Good Morning, Miami"), Charlotte Ross "NYPD Blue" and "Days of Our Lives"), and Golden-Globe winning actress Diane Ladd star in "Nora Roberts' Montana Sky." In this adaptation, three half-sisters meet for the first time after their father passes away. They learn they must live together for a year in order to receive their inheritance. The movie premieres Feb. 5th at 9 p.m.
